RECIPE

Description

(serves 4)

Cook steaks on a medium to high heat, and to achieve the tastiest
results do not cook beyond medium rare. Allow steaks to sit covered
with a cloth, such as a tea towel, away from heat for up to 5 minutes
to allow the beef to rest. Resting will make the steak juicer.

INGREDIENTS

METHOD

Heat barbecue flat plate or grill plate to a medium to
hot heat. Just before you are ready to cook, brush steaks with olive
oil and season with pepper and salt.

Place steaks onto
barbecue, briefly sear on each side and then cook for 3-4 minutes on
each side or till steaks are aromatic and the outside is dark, but the
inside is pink. To test if steaks are medium rare: press the steaks
with your forefinger and if the meat feels firm but still yielding, the
steak is cooked medium rare. If blood begins to come out of the steak,
the steak is cooked to medium.

Transfer to a heated plate
and let rest, covered with a clean, dry cloth, for 4-5 minutes. Resting
the beef fillet allows the juices to distribute evenly through the meat.
